On his twitter page, ESPN's Chris Mortensen speculates if the Cowboys lose today, the team could place running back Marion Barber on the trade block and the Packers could be interested. This report is pure speculation, but makes sense as Barber is struggling and holding back Felix Jones' development, while the Packers could use a power back that can move the chains.

I should hope not. Packers should be scrambling to pick up any decent back they can at any reasonable cost, especially with Finley out for the season. That's 2 huge hits to their offense and they need to make something happen to alleviate it somewhat. They clearly don't trust Jackson or anyone else on the roster as a runner, but they're going to have to run the ball somewhat reliably moving forward. They can get most the production they need to replace Finley out of their backup TE platoon IMO, but the lack of a running game is going to hurt more and more as the season goes on.
will JJ take a conditional draft pick in the 2057 nfl draft? Maybe TT would give away picks if they are far enough in the future that he will be retired...........
